“I think television’s growth is phenomenal reaching out to so many people. So yes, the reach is definitely way vaster and wider. I think it is unmatchable,” Prachi said. What she obviously meant was the TV’s effect on the society is wider than that of the cinema.

Prachi was last seen in the sports drama Azhar. The film, that also stars Emraan Haashmi, will air on Sony Max on August 14. The actress, who worked with Emraan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, says working with him again was really nice.

“I worked with Emraan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. Thankfully our pair was very well received so coming together in Azhar was really nice. The familiarity was, of course, a lot and yes we do share a rapport. That always helps actors in terms of their work.”

Azhar, which released on May 13 on the big screen, also features actress Nargis Fakhri. – CINEWS
